Swedish regulators announced on Tuesday the ban of Huawei and ZTE telecom equipment in its 5G network.
The license conditions were set following an assessment by the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Security Service, according to the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Authority (PTS).
Under pressure from the United States, European governments have been assessing the role of Chinese companies in building next-generation networks.
In July, the United Kingdom ordered Huawei equipment to be completely removed from the UK's 5G network by 2027, becoming one of the first European countries to do so.
Companies participating in the auction must remove Huawei and ZTE equipment from existing core functionality by January 1, 2025, PTS said.
The regulator refers to what it calls core functions, which are equipment used to build wireless access networks, transmission networks, core networks, and the services and maintenance of the networks.
UK says banning Huawei will delay 5G construction by 2-3 years
